The gesture of meditation, the correct posture for meditation

There are two postures of sitting cross-legged and hanging legs, which are mainly selected according to personal habits and environmental conditions. It is generally believed that sitting cross-legged is too formalized and prone to numb legs. Therefore, it is generally more convenient to sit with hanging legs (sitting on a chair and stool).

1) Cross-legged sitting. "Double disc pose" is to place the left foot on the top of the right thigh, then move the right foot to the left thigh, and place the hands together in front of the lower abdomen. This way of sitting is just to sit firmly and not easily shaken, but it is not easy to do without considerable effort.

"Single disc pose" is to place the right leg on top of the left leg and gesture as before. This is easier to do than a double disc. "Free cross-legged" is to sit cross-legged with the legs crossed over each other, which is the sitting posture that ordinary people are accustomed to.

2) Sitting with your legs down. Sit on a chair of appropriate height, keep the thigh surface level when you sit down, keep the thigh surface level as the degree, the calf is vertical, the feet are parallel to the ground, and the distance between the knees is to be able to put down two fists (fists and eyes are opposite). Place your palms down and naturally on your thighs.

The shoulders should be sagging, the waist must be straight, do not exert force, do not hunch over the chest, and bow the head on the back. The lower jaw is slightly upward**, and the top of the head is like a hanging. The posture is upright and natural.

This pose is a modern habitual pose.

Beginners should develop a correct posture for meditation, as described below

Sit upright, relax physically and mentally, keep a smile on your face, head straight, and the back of your neck slightly resting on the collar.

The eyes are slightly open, and the eyes are naturally lowered. If the eyes are fully open, it is easy to have delusions; If the eyes are completely closed, it is easy to be drowsy, and even prone to hallucinations; If there are no delusions, no drowsiness, hallucinations and other problems, and the eyes are open or closed, there is no obstruction.

The lower jaw is slightly closed, the mouth should not be opened, and the tip of the tongue is slightly against the roof of the mouth.

The arms hang down naturally.

The two hands are knotted with the vajra seal, that is, the left palm is down, the right palm is on the top, and the tips of the two thumbs are slightly touched, and placed on the thighs near the abdomen.

Sit with two feet knotted, the left foot is on the top, the right foot is on the bottom for the demon sitting, and vice versa is the auspicious sitting. The best sitting posture is to sit on both knees, the center of gravity of the whole body is not biased or slanted, the most stable and durable, and it is easy to achieve cultivation. If it is difficult to sit on both feet, you can take a single knee, the left foot can be on top or down, and the two feet can be adjusted to each other.

If you also feel difficult to sit on your knees, you can sit as you wish, that is, the so-called loose plate, with your legs crossed and sitting as you wish. When you first learn to sit, your legs will inevitably be sore, numb, and painful, and you must practice patience to gradually get better over time. On weekdays, you can start with 10 minutes of practice, and then slowly increase the time after becoming proficient; Do not hold on to it suddenly, so as not to damage the muscles and bones.

2. Precautions should be taken for meditation.
